What Causes Motorcycle Accidents in St. Peters, MO?

While no two accidents are alike, in our experience, the vast majority of motorcycle accidents fall into the following categories:

Driving Under the Influence of Alcohol or Drugs

Drunk driving contributes to more motor vehicle accidents than any other single factor, and in the U.S. it kills approximately 32 people a day. Drunk driving was a factor in 34 percent of motorcycle accident deaths.

Road Hazards

Because a car with 4 wheels is much more stable than a motorcycle, road hazards such as ruts in the road, slippery surfaces, potholes, and gravel create an increased risk. If your accident was caused by a road hazard, the liable party may be a government entity or construction company.

Left-Hand Turns

Forty-two percent of motorcycle accidents that lead to death occur when a vehicle turns left and hits a motorcyclist going straight. Motorcycles escape many people's attention, even if they're looking. This is the result of "inattentional blindness," a phenomenon in which our brains cannot notice a smaller vehicle like a motorcycle because of how much sensory information we receive as we drive.

Speeding

Thirty-three percent of motorcycle crash deaths had speeding as a contributing factor. While some bikers are known to speed, it often is the fault of car or truck drivers driving too fast to be able to maneuver around a motorcycle safely.

Rear-End Accidents

Motorcycles decelerate faster than other vehicles, and many motorcyclists roll off the throttle to come to a stop, meaning a trailing car won't see their brake lights. Still, just as in a crash between two cars, the trailing has a responsibility to slow down in time.
